Bristol City under-18s entered the FA Youth Cup tonight as they took on Birmingham City at Ashton Gate.

Trevor Challis’ side started slowly however as the Blues scored within 10 minutes - Tom Anderson bundling his way into the box and drilled under Lochlan Robertson.

Robertson was excellent throughout, but unfortunately conceded a second when the eye-catching Jack Concannon played the pass of the game to release Ryan Burke into space down the left for a cross that was slid in by Nick Okoro.

The Robins pushed on and their good second half performance was eventually rewarded when Antoine Semenyo blasted in following a poor headed clearance.

Unfortunately a second riposte was not forthcoming and Bristol City exited the FA Youth Cup at the first hurdle.
